To kick off the launch, they're co-hosting a statewide convening in Granite Falls, MN from June 27-29, 2018, and are seeking participants to attend as Equity Blueprint delegates, from each State Senate district and the 11 Native Nations. Delegates will represent the diverse Minnesota of the future and collectively shape the One Minnesota Equity Blueprint.

No prior policy experience necessary; the Thriving by Design team wants the delegation to represent all Minnesotans! Delegates will attend the statewide convening in June and then help host follow-up community meetings later in 2018 to gather more input on the draft Equity Blueprint. General participants are most welcome to attend the Granite Falls event, too, even if you cannot commit to hosting follow-up community meetings.
